🌸 fnic_fcoe_process_flogi_resp 🌸

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the kernel manual, we're doing big-girl kernel hours 💅 — and it's all about one lil function called fnic_fcoe_process_flogi_resp. Buckle up, it's short and sweet.

---

✨ NAME ✨

fnic_fcoe_process_flogi_resp — literally the function that processes the FLOGI response from the FCF. that's it, that's the whole job 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void fnic_fcoe_process_flogi_resp (struct fnic *fnic , struct fip_header
*fiph );

no return value, she just does things. void queen 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• fnic — Handle to the fnic driver instance. like, the actual driver vibe, the main character of this whole situation 🌈
• fiph — Received frame. the frame that showed up. the mail, if you will 💌

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea ☕ — if it's successful, she saves the assigned fc_id and MAC, programs the firmware, and starts fdls discovery. iconic behaviour, no notes ✨

but if it's not successful? she restarts vlan discovery instead. different path, same determination 💪 not me being emotionally invested in a FLOGI response 😭
